BBC 'White Season' Trail

Directly before 'Mad Men' came this trail for a new season of programmes on the BBC about the white working class.

I've seen this reviewed elsewhere, and it seems to stir up quite a bit of controversy. Let's not get into the politics; creatively, it's just great, isn't it? And its ability to cause heated debate is a proof of that, I would say.

If it's white, working-class people being replaced by non-white, non English speaking people, the why is one of the phrases written on hin 'Britain is changing'? (that's English, by the way).

And anyway, 'Is white, working-class Britain becoming invisible'? They should define their terms better. For me, the Polish (white, working class, now in this country, so 'Britain') are not in the least invisible.

That's why I don't get it. I get what they're trying to say, but they're not making a very good job of it by using some contrived visual device that they (and Anon 2:42) thought was very clever but lacks the consistency a statement and issue of that nature requires.

Make up your minds. I don't know if I'm supposed to like this ad or not. I made a big mistake once by not liking Sony Balls before I had correctly guaged what my opinion should be. How embarrassing. When I found out it was mandatory to like it, I changed my tune lickety spit and now I think it's brilliant.

When the opening salvo to the prelude of this alleged “white week”, was seen to be a white man being progressively covered in foreign language until he was white no more, didn’t that send the alarm bells ringing in your living room?.

Next came the BBCs “marketing question”, “are the white working classes being ignored”. That was to drag the errrmm - white working classes into the trap.

And for what?.

So that they could be both scolded and derided by an organization that has nothing but contempt for them all. The BBCs initial question must surely have been an ironic one, for that is exactly what they have preceded to do - ignore the white working classes, and then openly treat them with the outright contempt, that only the highly self-righteous could ever dream to do.

I understand that the final programme in the series “All white in Barking” is an outright tirade, where the BBC are of course taking the moral high ground, and lecturing white Britain as to why we are truly the scum of the earth.

Perhaps they thought that at this point in time, and after seeing the rest of their “right on” series, we might indeed agree with their leftist outlook of Britain and be ready, neigh pleading, to all change our ways.

In Nineteen twenties Russia, the unspeakable enemies of the state were the bourgeois. In naughties Britain, for nu Labour and their faithful minions at the BBC, it is undoubtedly the white working classes that have to be slain.

I can honestly conclude, that the BBCs motives for this series have been utterly shameful to say the very least.

It was an excellent blogg however and although I didn't see the programme, (only the advert)I guessed there was something fishy going on at the beeb, as no way could I ever see them making a documentary etc in support of the white working class Brits. That would be racist now and no one dares to say a word about immigrants taking over the country.
